This so-called messenger is actually a messenger, and what he brought was a letter from Xin Jiyao. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The content of the letter is not long, and it is to ask Shangguan Xiu how many days it will take to arrive in Navia. After reading this letter, Shangguan Xiu pondered for a while, and said to the messenger: "You go back and reply to General Xin, it will take at least two months for our army to arrive in Navia. ”
"Two months!" the messenger's face changed, and he said urgently: "Lord Shangguan, two months is too long, the war ahead is urgent, and after two months, I am afraid of ......"
"What are you afraid of? I'm afraid that your Ningnan army will be defeated? If your Ningnan army can't hold out for even two months, it will be too disappointing!"
The Naxikeya region is not a small area, its area is larger than the wind county of the wind country, there are more than ten cities here, although the Wang Ting army only has the thirty-fifth army, which has been annihilated, but each city also has its own local army and family army, these towns that retain troops, the Zhenjun army can not ignore them, otherwise, if they rush deep, they will only end up with a back road being cut off, which is too risky. Sending troops to sweep away the troops of these more than a dozen cities is two months fast.
"But Lord Shangguan, the country of Besa continues to increase troops to Duki, the pressure on our army's front line is getting bigger and bigger, and the logistics supply is becoming more and more tight, and now the whole line is in an emergency, and it will drag on for another two months, villain...... The villain is really worried that our army will be defeated in Duki, and when that time comes, Lord Shangguan wants to annex Nashikya, and it will be impossible!"
"With the combat strength of the Besa Army, it can cause so much pressure on your Ningnan Army. Shangguan Xiu said as if asking. He had fought with the Ningnan Army and the Beisa Army, and he could feel that the combat strength of the Beisa Army was not above the Ningnan Army, and even if the Beisa Army had the upper strength, the Ningnan Army was unlikely to be defeated in a short time.
"Lord Shangguan......"
"Well, no more talk. According to what I mean, you go back to your life!" Shangguan Xiu no longer gave the messenger a chance to say more, and waved his hand casually. Before the messenger could speak, two gendarmes came in from outside, and said in a deep voice with unkind faces: "Please!"
The messenger of Ningnan was helpless, so he had to bow to Shangguan Xiu and leave the hall.
Shangguan Xiu couldn't go straight to Navia regardless of it, the Ningnan Army was not worth his desperate efforts, risking the lives of 400,000 soldiers, and he didn't want the battle of Duji to end so soon.
Duki has now become a battlefield that infinitely consumes the national strength of Ningnan and Besa, and the two countries are fighting and losing both, that is what Shangguan Xiu is happy to see, how can he be so eager to help one of them?
According to Shangguan Xiu's original intention, the Zhenjun army should march slowly, steadily, step by step, first sweep the towns in the Nasikeya region to ensure that there is no more military presence in the area, and then march to Navia to ensure that their own army has no worries.
But plans never change fast. On the Duki battlefield, the Ningnan Army of the four legions and the Besa Army of the five legions fought on the Gothic Plain. In this battle, the commander of the Ningnan Army was General Zuo Chang Yong, a veteran of Ningnan who had been on the battlefield for a long time and was brave and good at fighting.
At the beginning of the campaign, the Ningnan army, with its small forces, was on the defensive, and the Besa army was the main attack. Chang Yong fought on the battlefield for most of his life, the best thing is to fight defensive battles, under his command and deployment, the defense line of the Ningnan Army can be described as impregnable, the Besa Army attacked for five days in a row, during which only a few times broke through the outer defense line of the Ningnan Army, but in the end they were all beaten back by the Ningnan Army.
After five days of fierce fighting, the Besa army suffered numerous losses and lost a lot of morale. Chang Yong realized that his fighters were coming, organized his troops, and launched a fierce counterattack against the Besa army. The Besa army, which had been the main attacker, did not do a perfect defense, and on the third day of the counterattack of the Ningnan army, the Besa army began to be unable to hold on, and the whole line was defeated.
400,000 is better than 500,000, which is not a common occurrence even in the era of cold weapons, and even rarer in the era of hot weapons, when firearms are rampant. Even the old general, who was so calm and cautious, was carried away by the victory at this time, and wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and swallow the 500,000 Besa army in one gulp.
As a result, Chang Yong led his troops too deep into the enemy camp, and in the chaotic battle, Chang Yong was hit in the head by a stray bullet that came from the covert, and the person died on the spot. Chang Yong was seriously injured and died, which directly led to the turmoil of the Ningnan army, and the Besa army took this opportunity to gather the defeated army and launch a Jedi counterattack.
The 400,000-strong Ningnan army was finally defeated by the Besa army and collapsed on the whole front. In the first battle, the casualties of the Ningnan army were as high as more than 200,000, and three legions were defeated, leaving only a small number of remnants of the defeated generals. After the Battle of the Gothic Plains, the Ningnan Army had no advantage over the Besa Army.
The Ningnan army advanced weakly and gradually fell into a situation of defense on all fronts, while the Besa army was full of morale and began to take the initiative. The most unexpected thing for Shangguan Xiu was that in the next series of battles, Xin Jiyao, the former general of Ningnan, was wounded.
In Shangguan Xiu's opinion, this is simply impossible, Xin Jiyao, like him, is a spirit and god with a physique, and they are all cultivators of the Nirvana realm, on the battlefield, she is simply like a god-like existence, who can hurt Xin Jiyao?
Shangguan Xiu ordered the spies of the Dark Banner to inquire again and again, and confirmed that the news was indeed true, Xin Jiyao was indeed injured by the Besa Army on the battlefield, but the injury was not serious, only the shoulder was injured. Even so, it was enough to surprise Shangguan Xiu, the fire gun couldn't break Xin Jiyao's spirit armor at all, even if it was with a musket, it couldn't break her spirit armor after the spirit transformation, there was only one explanation, Xin Jiyao was careless, on the battlefield, he didn't use the spirit change of the armor.
The Ningnan Army's battle situation in Duji was completely passive and the situation was precarious, which made Shangguan Xiu, who wanted to march slowly, have to change his tactics and order the whole army to advance towards Navia City with all his might.
However, just as the Zhenjun army was preparing to pass directly through Nashikaya and march towards Navia, there was a big mess in the rear.
On this day, the sky was just dawning, Shangguan Xiu had breakfast, and was studying the march map in the Chinese army's tent, Zhao Chen hurriedly walked in from outside, and at the same time, two gendarmes also chased in from the outside, and reminded urgently: "General Zhao, the villain hasn't reported to the adults yet!"
Shangguan Xiu raised his head, looked at Zhao Chen, and then at the two gendarmes, and waved his hand at the two of them. Two gendarmes intervened and withdrew from the tent. Shangguan Xiu asked, "Chen, what happened, why did you come in such a hurry?"
"Brother Xiu, there's an accident in the rear!" Zhao Chen walked up to Shangguan Xiu and said with a solemn face: "I just received the news that a supply team of our army was attacked, and at the same time, the city lord Dick Donnacius was attacked, and the city lord Dick Donnacius was killed, and there are three towns on the border of our country, which were also attacked by the Besa army at the same time!"
At the same time, it was not a coincidence that his own supply team was attacked, the city of Domos was attacked, and even the three towns on the mainland of the Windy Country were also attacked, which was obviously not a coincidence, but a well-arranged and deployed operation.
Shangguan Xiu frowned and asked, "Where did the Besa Army come from?"
"It is reported that the Besa army that attacked sneak up was not wearing the badge of Wang Tingjun, and the military uniform was not uniform, it didn't look like Wang Tingjun, but like a family army or a local army!" Zhao Chen replied.
What he is afraid of, Shangguan Xiu's biggest concern is to lead the army to rush deeper, the rear is unstable, and now there is chaos in the rear. The Besa army not only attacked the Besa towns they had captured, but also attacked their own mainland, and it was clear that their purpose was to drag their army in the Nashikia region and prevent them from intervening in the battle of Duki.
But he couldn't watch the defeat of the Ningnan army, once the Ningnan army was defeated, the main force of the Besa army would immediately turn the spearhead and attack his own side, and at that time, it would be difficult to annex the Nashikaya region. Thinking of this, he said to Zhao Chen: "Find a military advisor and gather all the generals!"
"Yes! Brother Xiu!" Zhao Chen agreed, turned around and walked out quickly.
It didn't take long for Meng Qiuchen and all the generals in the army to rush to the Chinese military tent. When everyone arrived, Shangguan Xiu told everyone about the emergency situation he had just learned.
After listening, everyone looked at each other, and no one immediately spoke. After a while, Hu Chong took the lead and said: "My lord, the rear is unstable, our army is going to Navia City, it is a lone army to go deep, and there is a danger of annihilation!"
"So?"
"Therefore, our army should turn around and stabilize the rear!"
"As a result of stabilizing the rear, the Ningnan army was defeated at Duki, and the main force of the Besa army withdrew from Duki, entered Nasikya, and engaged our army head-on. Meng Qiuchen looked at the people present and said, "The more than 100,000 Besa army is definitely not something that our army can deal with, and now our army is ready to fly, and it can only advance, not retreat!"
"Strategist, if our army continues to advance towards Navia, all the towns and cities in the rear will fall, and at that time, where will the supplies of our army come from? Without supplies, what will the soldiers eat and what will they take to fight?" Hu Chong shook his head again and again, and said: "It's too risky!
Everyone present rubbed their chins one by one and was silent in thought. What Meng Qiuchen said is right, and what Hu Chong said is also right, his side is now in a difficult situation of riding a tiger, unable to advance, unable to retreat, in a difficult situation, and struggling.
In the end, people's eyes looked at Shangguan Xiu in unison, waiting for him to make a decision.
Da There was silence in the tent, except for the clatter of his fingertips hitting the table.
After a long time, he finally stopped beating, raised his head, looked around at everyone, and said: "Luo Ren acted as the commander on my behalf, and the military division assisted me, and the two of you led the four legions of our army to continue to march towards Navia, and I led the gendarmerie to stay, sweep away the Besa army in Nasikeya, and ensure that our army's supplies are smooth and there is no worries!"
